Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program

The Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program (EHEAP) is a federally funded program that assists low-income households with at least one person 60 years of age or older when the household has an imminent energy crisis.

Be a U.S. Citizen or an alien resident who is eligible for federal benefits

Things to Consider

Hillsborough County prioritizes financial assistance appointments to the most vulnerable population (persons 60 years or older, school-age, or with a disability).
